Happy New Year 2025







Happy New Year to you all!

Hope you have a good one.

Traditionally at this time of year I let you know what should be coming up on the blog but, every year I do that, it sometimes takes a few years for those reviews to materialise. So this is a shorter blog entry this year and I’ll only tell you what I know for sure.

Firstly, there will definitely be reviews of various 1980s Hong Kong Martial Arts movies very soon. There will also be review series devoted to Clint Eastwood’s Dirty Harry films and also some non-Bond secret agent movies, including five of the OSS117 movies, the two theatrical Flint movies, the four Matt Helm films and some Shaw Brothers spy yarns. In addition, a slew of Tom Selleck’s Jesse Stone TV specials will be reviewed, along with the Indiana Jones films plus some classic era Doctor Who.

I now have more Shaw Brothers kung fu movies than you can comfortably shake a nunchuck at and I would hope I get around to watching some of those over the next year too. I’m hoping also to finally finish off the first of Severin’s All The Haunts Be Ours sets and to get the reviews of that up (especially since volume 2 has now been released). And at some point soon I want to take a proper look at the Hammer Frankenstein movies too.

Anyway, hopefully at least some of this will materialise during 2025. Other than that though, have a better year than your last at the very least. Oh... and while I remember, it’s not too late to enter this year’s Annual Cryptic Movie Quiz... you have until the end of January 9th and can play here.
